Jake. You just cannot win in the face of overwhelming ________.
A. Ignorance
B. Obliviousness
C. Optimism
D. All of the above

I’m still on your side, though. But since I’m not a character in the comic (and would probably be a Yeldian anyway), that doesn’t mean a whole lot!

Magical Backfire appeals to my gambling addiction in so many ways, Real Jake. You have no idea, ha hah. (I’m the kind of guy who spams Metronome in Pokémon just to see what happens. 200-some rolls and no Self-Destruct/Explosion yet!)

Oh man, Magical Backfires remind of my old 2nd Edition D&D groups favorite item. One of the characters took all of the party’s potions and mixed them together into a single concoction called “Evergoo”. There was a long list (as in multiple pages, we kept adding to it when we thought of something) of effects to roll on when you drank some, you might get super strength, or glow in the dark, or get psychic powers, or fall madly in love with the first person you see, or turn into a tree, etc. It was usually temporary. Usually. It got really fun when somebody drank more than one dose at a time.

Remember porting Cosmic Encounter powers into other games? So in Cosmic Risk you could, with Amoeba, sacrifice armies to take another turn? in Cosmic Acquire, Mutant would let you draw shares from other players’ hands?

I just wanted to say, the Shepherd picture briefly up in the livedraw today, I really like it. The shepherd’s expression just somehow makes me happy and more cheerful. I can’t wait until it appears in one of the kickstarter updates so that I can right clic and save image as, so I have better than a screen cap to look at.
Thank you.
